    I would say fish poo is the problem too many fish for the filter or that could do with a good clean out which they all need periodically to keep them working well I would also suggest to him to do PH test of the water and then check if thats ok ? , quick fix is to to do regular water changes ie take out a 1/4 and replace with fresh

    we have someone on here who keep KOI and would know more than me mmm forgotten who it is
